I am pretty sure he was using an abbreviation for a type of alcohol which is commonly used to clean oil from wood before applying finishes..

Here's what I do for small tight places that are tough to reach to shellac properly; don't shellac them. I don't see the need on the inside of a small box, there's just no benefit. Just boiled Linseed oil (or Danish oil if you prefer) and finish with wax applied with 0000 steel wool and buff it out.

meth = methyl alcohol... Here in the US it is commonly sold as Denatured alcohol. The big-box stores sell it in 1 gallon cans.
